Blue Steel

Look around, it’s not just grannies and Diane Keaton sporting those silky gray and silver strands anymore. Color fans of all ages are trading in their darker hues for shades of gray. But the “granny” look isn’t for every client, so lacing a silvery/gray base with hints of purple, pink, or even blue can create a metallic shade she is sure to love. “My client explained that she was thinking of coloring black over her now faded ombré,” shares Jeanette Herrera of Hugo Salon in Kensington, MD. “I really didn’t want to waste all of our previous lightening so we discussed what colors she was open to. She liked both blue and silver and with gray being so popular, I knew this metallic blue would be right up her ally.” Just as Blue Steel is Derrick Zoolander’s signature smolder on the runway, this blue-steel creation is sure to be one of the most requested colors in your salon this season! Here’s Jeanette’s signature color formula!
